After all
This is heaven
But being biblical
Is so dramatic
We took this book
To sooth the fevers
By hook by crook
Become believers

Look at me
This fruit's not fell
Far from the tree
But this fruit feels ripe
And that's all right by me
So we take our chance
Amongst the heathens
By holding fast become believers

Come alive
Facilitate me
Wash away
And elevate me
Currency is not accepted
While we try
We are defective

If I could make
Only half of this right
Then this lonely day
Would turn into populous night
And this poverty of clarity
Would not stop me
From sleeping this time

Come alive
Facilitate me
Wash away
And elevate me
Currency is not accepted
While we try
We are defective

Come alive
Facilitate me
Wash away
And elevate me
Currency is not accepted
While we try
We are defective

Come alive
Facilitate me
Wash away
And elevate me
Currency is not accepted
While we try
We are defective

Come alive
Facilitate me
Wash away
And elevate me
Currency is not accepted
While we try
We are defective

Come alive
Facilitate me
Wash away
And elevate me
Currency is not accepted
While we try
We are defective

Come alive
Facilitate me
Wash away
And elevate me
Currency is not accepted
While we try
We are defective

Come alive
Facilitate me
Wash away
And elevate me
Currency is not accepted
While we try
We are defective

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
